Bug 51679

I am not sure whether I understand reporter's problems. I see some relation to "Bug 34467 - FORMATTING Fit to Frame for text boxes is broken", but that one is not new. Or some template problem?

@reporter:
Thank you for your report – unfortunately important information is missing.
May be hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> will help you to find out what information will be useful to reproduce your problem? If you believe that that  is really sophisticated please as for Help on a user mailing list
Please:
- Write a meaningful Summary describing exactly what the problem is
- Attach a sample document (not only screenshot) or refer to an existing 
  sample document in an other Bug with a link.
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a document related step by step instruction containing every 
  key press and every mouse click how to reproduce your problem 
  (similar to example in Bug 43431)
– if possible contribute an instruction how to create a sample document 
  from the scratch
- add information 
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your PC 
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO UI language, Locale setting
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts

Even if you can not provide all demanded information, every little new information might bring the breakthrough.

May be you can test <https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/> for submitting bug reports? You reach that Bug Submission Assistant via LibO menu 'Help -> Feedback / Bug Report'

Please file Bug reports with status UNCONFIRMED!

Redone attachment with more explanation.

I limit this report to reporter's problem "When simply typing lines, sometimes the cursor is not visible – it disappears off the bottom of the
input box". 

Other problems will need their own reports.

E expect that reporter's problem is that with all unchecked options in 'Format -> Text -> Text' cursor will leave visible text area at the bottom, further inputs will be invisible, but when Clicked outside text to "confirm" text inputs, the last lines of the text appear below bottom of the Text Box and may even exceed The page height.

@john@curioussymbols.com:
Thank you for your explications, but that's more or less only confirmation of what I read in your report.

Let's continue step by step.
I added the OS info for you.

Now please attach the Presentation you used for your tests, so that I can see your settings and do my own tests. 

Are my expectations concerning your problem correct? That would be a very old problem (I already know from OOo 1.1.4), but in old times the text outside Text Box margins was invisible and did not count for text box size, with later versions text exceeding Text Box margins becomes visible (but still does not count for box size).
